Passengers
of domestic airlines are calling for stricter
safety regulations to ensure their safety. Their comments come after domestic airline company Starbow was forced to land abruptly
yesterday. The plane made a quick emergency return from its journey to Takoradi
after it experienced hydraulic warning signals 6000 feet in the sky. The Bureau
of Public Safety has raised an alarm over what it
describes as frequent air accidents in the country. It has blamed the Ghana
Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA) and government for failing to do their jobs.
The situation has been compounded by the failure of the Transport Ministry, the
GCAA and some industry players to show leadership and sincerity to Ghanaians,
the Bureau explained in a statement. The Bureau also accused the
government of failing to investigate all the air accidents and making public,
results from their investigations, a scenario it describes as a waiting
disaster. Now passengers are also urging authorities to do more to save their lives. But management of the airline
said it is putting things in place to ensure the safety of their passengers as
it is investigating yesterday’s incident. Ghana Civil Association is also
gathering information for the Transport Ministry for action. Meanwhile, Deputy
Minister of Transport, Joyce Bawa Mogtari has revealed that management of Starbow has grounded most of its flights to
carry out emergency service procedures on them
